Keywords:
Prayer, Thung Kula Ronghai, Chaw Pho Srinakhon TaoAbstract
The article aimed to reveal the changing representation of the “prayer” the local community people in “Thung Kula Ronghai” proposed to the ritual ghost of “Chaw Pho Srinakhon Tao” from the periods of 1957 to 2017.C.E. Therefore, the prayer represented the submission of the sacred power of Chaw Pho Srinakhon Tao and revealed the people’s hidden complex hope. Hopes and wishes of the people and community were reflected through the prayer they pronounced in front of Chaw Pho Srinakhon Tao. Those were prayers made before 1957 that emphasized the success in agricultural products. Some aspects of prayers, such as prayer on sufficient rain in the rainy season that will bring prosperity in agriculture and the ecosystem as a whole, and the prayer for peace, safety and happiness of the community. The individual prayer mostly focused on the wellness of health, family, pet, and the lost belongings. However, after 1957, when a government has developed a social-economy structure such as transportation, education, healthcare, and infrastructures, the prayers proposing to the ritual ghost of “Chaw Pho Srinakhon Tao have been changed due to the improvement of those changing social-economy structures.
